Hi, I have recently been awarded limited capability for work and work-related activity. I can see I have been awarded the extra monthly payment in my work journal under payments. The first payment this month. My first fit note was provided in October 2024, consecutively up until now. My forms were received to the DWP in…

I do not usually post about my experiences online but what happened to me with Pettable genuinely changed that. I need people to know about this before they make the same mistake I made. I was going through a stressful housing situation and needed an ESA letter to protect my living situation with my dog. I found Pettable…

Message really for @66Mustang as I can't find our earlier chat! Done, finally done, yeeha 🤩 I expected to get upset but didn't. I can see my answers from the original referral and know why I bottled out the first time - I needed a third-party who knew me before the age of 12 and remembered the pain of contacting my…

Hi!

Hi everyone, [removed by moderator] Due to new legislation by the Current Government (The renters rights act) I have been served my section 21 (non fault eviction) notice, as my Landlady has said it makes renting her property out very expensive so its just not worth it anymore so she is selling it. I have been hear for 17…

Poem called Mountain and Hills Mountains and hills could be seen in the distance, the enchanted greenery. The sun shined, the birds sang. It was a mountain, clear inside. Petresort, the sands, Sunday mountains, and beautiful greenery. The beautiful breeze blew, showing the mountains and hills have hidden stories, special…

Hi everyone, I’m new here and looking for some support please. Also hoping that I can support others too. I have a parking issue in our shared ownership, new build home. We have two owned spaces opposite our house which are too small for me to easily get in and out of my car. Next to my space is a curbed area with plants…

*“I’m sharing my experience to help others understand what can happen during a mental health crisis. When I was struggling most, there was a confusing situation where the police repeatedly attended because they believed I had called 999 — but I hadn’t made those calls at all. It was a really stressful and disorientating…

Hello, I have always had some confusion regarding reporting capital. If you have over 6k in your bank accounts you will need to report everyday on the last day of your assessment period the amount. I've never really seen a clear explanation for how to do this, so following a recent review I asked if they could make me a…

Another thread idea I had. What opinions do you hold that are unpopular or that go against the vast majority? They can be about anything from food to TV programs to politics to current issues but please keep it civil and respect everyone’s views. ;)

Hi I am to be in receipt of inheritance in the next few months which will take me over the 16k threshold I'm sure. I currently receive UC, housing element inc, I am on LCW and recently have been awarded PIP and have received 2 payments already. I am wondering whether to apply for new style ESA. I work part-time and have…

I currently receive Universal Credit with LCWRA and PIP. I have been offered a zero-hours contract in a kitchen environment. I would probably work around one shift per week, earning approximately £100 per shift (£400-£500 per month). I have read that people with LCWRA are allowed to work if they feel able to do so, and…

Hello there!I am currently on UC and recieve LCWRA (i was previously on ESA and moving in with my partner who is on UC triggered the change to UC)As my condition has become more manageable at times, I took the leap of starting a zero hour contract which gave me the opportunity to accept and decline shifts dependant on how…

So he is wearing the hat to honor someone in his family that died in military conflict. He loves animals. He is law abiding. Its not always clear that he is autistic. He is good looking. Is this social justice in action? {removed by moderator} Are they threatened by his hat and perhaps his perceived political stance? Why…
